Thank you sanctitasdeo for answering my topic. It means alot. I just feel I am not doing things right.

I know that the church's founder, Joseph Smith, was having a diificult time deciding what church to join. He prayed until Moroni camed to him and told him that there were gold plates that he needed to translate. He was told he could not get them now but he would in a few years. Seven years he was told to retrieve them in upstate New York. It took him about a year to translate them. When he was done, the same spirit retrieve them back. This was I believe 1820. The church was organized in 1830. Missionaries were sent out to bring new followers. Smith was murdered by a mod will he was in jail in 1844. Brigham Young lead the early members of the LDS to today to Utah. The church has Words of Wisdom with advisises its members to abstinence from alcohol, drugs, and tobacco products. They also encourage members to fast, maintain sexual purity, eat meat in moderation, and a modest dress code. The current prophet is Thomas S. Monson. LDS uses the Bible as long as it is translated correctly. Other standard works of the church are Doctrines and Conveants and Pearl of Great Price.

Hey everyone, I am really interested in the church. I have been for sometime. I know that those interested are encouraged to contact the missionaries. I am in a place on my life where life is busy. However, I do want to start learning so when I am ready. I will know it is right. I have a tendency to jump into things without thinking about it. Only to lose interest later. I want to be double sure the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is right for me. I really feel this is right for me. May someone please point me into the right direction? Where should I start? Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you very much.
